| Roomette by Day | Roomette by Night |
From the moment you step into your single-occupancy Roomette and hang your coat in its closed locker, you will delight in the privacy and luxury you have achieved. The bed is hidden in the wall, and you yourself easily swing it down or up at your pleasure. Softly upholstered 'contour' seat with armrests...fluorescent lights, close at hand for reading...your own toilet and folding washstand....ice water at your fingertip....large luggage rack....electric razor outlet....full length mirror in your sliding door--and by the way, you may close and lock your door at night or simple zipper yourself in behind the door curtain. All in all, nothing in the world makes a king or queen of you faster than a luxurious Roomette.....
